Tucked within the protected waters of the South Water Caye Marine Reserve, Blue Horizon is in the heart of \"Permit Alley\", offering quick access to expansive flats and dozens of cayes. The lodge features modern comforts, excellent dining, and a laid-back atmosphere.

The lodge's location on Northeast Caye was chosen specifically due to its central proximity to the world's finest permit fishery.

With precise casting, expert guidance, and a little luck, you'll be well-poised to release a Belizean gem.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eBonefish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAlthough they're not the primary target species of most anglers at Blue Horizon, Bonefish are bountiful in select flats, and the guides know where to find them.
